Between August, 1973, and May, 1974, Pseudomonas maltophilia was isolated from 63 patients in the King Edward Memorial Hospital for Women, Subiaco, Western Australia. Primary cultures were obtained mainly from specimens of urine from adults, and from intraarterial catheter tips and umbilical swabs from neonates. In most cases the organism appeared to be a contaminant, but in seven it was responsible for infection. The source of the organism was deionized water used for diluting Savlon concentrate (chlorhexidine, 1-5%; cetrimide, 15%). In the 17 months since the method of preparation and distribution of Savlon to the wards was altered, Ps. maltophilia has not been isolated from either clinical specimens or hospital disinfectants.
1973年8月至1974年5月期间，在西澳大利亚州苏比亚科的爱德华国王纪念妇女医院，从63名患者身上分离出嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌。初次培养主要取自成人尿液标本、新生儿动脉内导管尖端和脐部拭子。在大多数情况下，该菌似乎是污染物，但在7例中它导致了感染。该菌的来源是用于稀释Savlon浓缩液（洗必泰，1 - 5%；溴化十六烷基三甲铵，15%）的去离子水。自从改变了向病房分发Savlon的制备和分发方法后的17个月里，未从临床标本或医院消毒剂中分离出嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌。
